Romero, Han Power Ducks To Second-Place Finish In Season Opener
The Ducks kicked off their 2025-26 season last week at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate in Minnesota, going up against a 12-team field that featured four top-five teams and seven top-12 programs. Oregon got off to a bit of a slow start in the opening round before improving by seven strokes in round two, but still sat in sixth place with 18 holes to go. As they have in recent years, the Ducks caught fire in the final round, firing a 16-under 272 to fly up the leaderboard and finish as the runner-up at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate for the third year in a row. Junior Kiara Romero and freshman Sophie Han powered the Ducks' surge, each shooting 6-under 66 to help Oregon fire the third-lowest team round in program history and third-lowest in the 11-year history of the ANNIKA Intercollegiate. Sophomores Tong An and Suvichaya Vinijchaitham each added a 2-under 70 as Oregon finished with by far the lowest team round of the week. Romero's 66 followed a 3-under 69 in the second round as the reigning Big Ten Golfer of the Year earned a third-place finish (-5) at the tournament where she won in her collegiate debut two years ago. An was solid all week while tying for eighth overall at 2 under, Vinijchaitham tied for 15th overall at even par and Han was the biggest riser of the final round with a 20-spot climb to tie for 28th overall.
On Top of the World
Oregon 's lineup is led by the top-ranked amateur women's golfer in the world in junior Kiara Romero. Already one of the most accomplished players in program history, Romero ascended to the top spot in the World Amateur Golf Rankings and received the prestigious McCormack Medal following a sensational sophomore season. Romero became the first two-time, first-team all-American in program history while also being named the 2025 Big Ten Women's Golfer of the Year. She won the individual Big Ten title while leading the Ducks to the team championship, and followed that up with a dominant individual win at the NCAA Gold Canyon Regional that featured the lowest individual round in program history with a 10-under 62. At the NCAA Championships, Romero tied for seventh overall with a 5-under 283 to power Oregon back into match play, breaking her own program record for the lowest individual score in a 72-hole tournament. On the season, Romero carded two wins, four runner-up finishes, nine top-10 finishes and 11 top-20 showings in 11 tournaments while shooting par-or-better in 26 of 32 rounds with 16 sub-70 performances. During the spring, Romero combined to shoot an incredible 57-under par in seven tournaments while finishing par-or-better in 20 of 22 rounds. Romero shattered her own UO single-season records for scoring average (69.91) and birdies (138). In her Oregon career, Romero has shot par-or-better in 52 of 66 rounds with 26 sub-70 performances while racking up four career wins - tied for the most in program history - four runner-up finishes, 16 top-10 finishes and 21 top-20 showings. Her career scoring average of 70.35 is on track to shatter the Oregon all-time record of 72.82 (Briana Chacon).
The tournament will begin with 36 holes of stroke play on Monday, followed by a final 18 holes of stroke play on Tuesday. The top four teams will advance to compete in match play on Wednesday, with the top two finishers in stroke play squaring off in the championship match.
